Full automatic mode
In stand-alone mode the ILDA files on the plugged in SD card are triggered automatically.
This setting is especially suitable for demo purposes or for fixed laser installations.
The stand-alone mode allows for additional advanced features: As standard, the standalone mode cycles through the ILDA files on the SD cards and plays them consecutively and in a general loop.

Demo mode
In demo mode the ILDA files on the plugged in SD card are triggered automatically.
The ILDA files are not only played back like in the stand alone mode, but they are also automatically animated by ShowNET's internal intelligence.
This creates dynamic animations, even if only static frames are on the SD card.
This setting is especially suitable for demo purposes.

Master-Slave Demo configuration in the panel
The master ShowNET sends the control signal and thus triggers the slave ShowNET to do the same. All ShowNETs in a master-slave chain should have the same ILDA files on their SD cards, otherwise the result would be different.

Single File Playback
In single file mode the interface only plays one specific ILDA file.
You can easily select which file you want to project.
Single File Playback configuration with DIP switches
- Dip switch 1 can be used to step to the next file (just switch DIP switch 1 to on, then to off again)
- Dip switch 2 can be used to step to the previous file (just switch DIP switch 2 to on, then to off again)
If you need the laser to beam always the same pattern, even after power off and power on again, then only one single ILDA file must be stored inside the SD card.
Master - Slave modes
ShowNET can be used for controlling laser systems in master-slave operation. This means, that one ShowNET acts as "master" and the others as "slaves". They are linked with standard DMX cables.
The master ShowNET sends the control signal and thus triggers the slave ShowNET to do the same. All ShowNETs in a master-slave chain should have the same ILDA files on their SD cards, otherwise the result would be different.
The master-slave operation principle is:
- the master ShowNET sends out DMX control signals
- the slave ShowNETs act according to these signals
These signals are just trigger signals, so no intelligence is transmitted - this already resides in the slave ShowNETs.
In master-slave operation only the master ShowNET is relevant, the slaves just act to the trigger of the master.
Master-slave operation is possible in Sound-to-Light mode or Demo-Mode:
